For Sale: Koga Miyata Lo Pro complete - Nitto, Sugino

Bike now SOLD, closing thread.

Mornin' kids.

So I think I have to finally admit to myself that at 5"11' this bike is too small for me, and with a house move coming up it's the right time to sell.

Frame is a Koga Miyata Lo Pro which I bought off the forum a few months back; only recently built it up and it's done maybe 100 miles or so. Size is about equivalent to a 53cm track bike, would be fine for someone between 5"6 and 5"10. Very nice positioning, nice tight clearances at the back. Comes with:

• Wheeset - front is a Dura Ace hub radially laced to Wolber 650 rim, rear is a black Halo Aerotrack, comes with a SystemEX 16t cog/lockring.
  
• Nitto risers with Nitto shim.
  
• Sugino Messenger cranks.
  
• Dura-Ace headset, Sugino BB, System EX shiny seatpost, Condor NJS pedals/straps/cages.
  
• Brooks Professional black saddle.
  
  
  

Will sell for £350 as pictured, or £275 without the Brooks (I'd prefer to keep it and will supply a generic sports saddle to get you home).

I can also put brakes on there (comprising of a black Gran Compe 'Shot Lever' and a Dura Ace 7800 caliper) for an extra £50.

No dibs - if you're sure you want it, tell me, if you're not sure, wait until you are. Kickass. Collection from Stoke Newington preferred.

awesome frame. I too wish it was bigger.

I hear it is best to go big on lo-pro frames to somewhat lessen the agressive riding position for general use.

Is the saddle height in the pic setup for you? (a 5'11 man?)

Yup, that's how I rode it. It's not hellishly small, if it was a track bike I think I'd be cool with it being a bit small, but the combo of too small and aggressive riding position is just too much for me.

I dunno, there's something really fun about having it be so zippy, that's just not what I need from my commuting bike, know what I mean?

Amazed this hasn't gone yet. Last bump before the bay.

Gutted. Still waiting for funds.

Dibs/PM'ed
